Club Carlson Category Changes (Radisson, Park Inn, Country Inn): Good News for a Change (pun intended)!

After massive devaluations of popular Hotel Loyalty programs, such as Priority Club, Hilton HHonors (not all bad but still) , Marriott Rewards, and SPG, it is encouraging to see that Club Carlson has taken a different direction. 150 properties are going down while 100 properties are going up. And there are quite a few properties in very popular locations that are becoming more affordable, too. A few examples:
